FIRST VISIT TO DENTIST: FIRST APPOINTMENT PROCEDURE The child’s ?rst visit is the most important visit as the motivation and help that the child receive during this visit will help him enjoy, understand and accept dental care. Time taken to introduce the child in a fun way to the dental chair and equipment used in the care helps to remove fear and apprehension that he may have and help him to settle in. 2. DIET COUNSELLING AND PREVENTIVE ADVICE Parents are important members of the health team in helping the child achieve and sustain good oral health care habits. Parents are enlightened on how and what to do to explain, motivate and help the child in his daily diet. 3. EARLY CHILDHOOD CARIES (ECC) CAUSED BY MILK FEEDS For infants under 2 years of age, knowledge of ECC-rampant decay caused by milk from breast feeding or bottle feeding are very essential to avoid future problems and expensive treatment that will arise. Knowing how and what to do after a milk feed will help to avoid these problems. 4. ORAL HYGIENE INSTRUCTIONS FOR BOTH PARENTS AND CHILD Parents are taught how to get the message across to the child in a fun and simple way designed to help the child understand and be motivated. 5. GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT Dealing with children involves knowledge of growth and development as the child is in an active state of growth both in the jaws, teeth and face. For example: As and when to remove baby teeth that are blocking the erupting permanent teeth, habits like thumb sucking are common problems. Early detection and care helps to lessen the problem. 2. PROPHYLAXIS AND TOPICAL FLUORIDE APPLICATION Cleaning and polishing the teeth with a special paste and then applying a protective coat of ?uoride gel are essential preventive measures in the routine six-monthly checkups for children. This will help to lessen the impact of acid that causes cavities on the teeth. 3. FISSURE SEALANTS This is a preventive measure where the grooves on the surface of the permanent molars are sealed or blocked o? to prevent food trap and cavities. This is especially necessary for teeth in children that have deep grooves and for those who are prone to decay for unknown reasons. 4. PUPAL (NERVE) TREATMENT IN CHILDREN Structurally, children’s teeth are not only thinner but they also have larger pulps (nerve). As a result they are very prone to nerve infections if they get a cavity as compared to an adult tooth. These teeth are now saved through pupal treatment instead of extraction as they need to be retained to preserve the space for the developing permanent successor. Early loss of such teeth can lead to crowded or crooked teeth. 5. TOOTH COLORED FILLINGS Materials are now available to ?ll children’s teeth much easier. 6. STAINLESS STEEL (SS) CROWNS These are prefabricated crowns made from stainless steel for children’s teeth that are too broken down for a normal ?lling. 7. EXTRACTIONS Proper technique helps the child to accept this most unpleasant procedure. Bene?ts of Early Care & Protection Most current fears in adults for dental care arise from unpleasant and traumatic experiences during childhood. However, through regular care – a child develop a trust and bond with the care-giver, the dentist. This helps the child to accept more readily procedures that are sometimes unpleasant. It is only when a child is taken to a dentist when he or she is in pain or when there are cavities that the situation gets compounded. During the procedure to rectify the situation to help the child, some discomfort will certainly arise and this is the beginning of the apprehension and fear. Do not let this happen to your child. However, if a child enjoys a visit to the dentist and does not encounter any unpleasant experiences, that child will have no fears that are so common in adults. It is much cheaper and healthier to have regular, early care for your child’s teeth. Treatment Process We have a “Toy Story” treatment room for boys and a “Disney Princess” treatment room for girls. Both are brightly painted and decorated with decals from your child’s favorite cartoons. Both rooms also come with ceiling mounted televisions to keep young ones occupied during treatment. They can choose from a selection of DVDs of the latest in kids entertainment. The dentist will examine your child’s teeth for cavities and gum problems and recommend the appropriate treatment. If all is well, a simple prophylaxis will be done, followed by a ?uoride application in decay prone children. FAQs on Children's Dentistry 1.
